Photonic technology has pushed the limits of astronomy ever more in recent years. Especially, integrated optics (IO) has led to new standards in accuracy and stability in the ﬁeld of astronomical interferometry where several beams need to be coherently and simultaneously combined. We follow and extend the IO concept by writing mid-IR waveguides in gallium lanthanum sulﬁde (GLS) using Ultrafast Laser Writing (ULI). Here, we report on the monochromatic and broadband interferometric capabilities in the mid-IR of such combiners. Finally, we outline the way to a ﬁber-fed IO 4-telescope instrument for next-generation astronomical interferometers.

Conference Presentations are recordings of oral presentations given at SPIE conferences and published as part of the conference proceedings. They include the speaker's narration along with a video recording of the presentation slides and animations. Many conference presentations also include full-text papers. Search and browse our growing collection of more than 12,000 conference presentations, including many plenary and keynote presentations.
